Features: Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), as a treasure of national culture, is gaining increasing attention from people around the world. Following the bestseller "Thinking about TCM," which sold over 100,000 copies, this book is another masterpiece published by Guangxi Normal University Press. Authored by Lü Jiaguo, son of Lü Bingkui, former Director of the TCM Department of the Ministry of Health, the book aims to expose the institutional traps TCM has faced since modern times and the capital conspiracies it still encounters today. This allows us to glimpse the true reasons behind the several drastic reductions in the number of TCM practitioners over the past century and the long-term marginalized status of TCM academia.
